Guest guest Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Hi Caron and all, I don't know. Why do doctors recommend a daily aspirin and glass of wine to prevent heart disease? And irradiation of the breasts to " detect breast cancer early " ? Go figure ... I find it much easier to consider that age-old question, " Why did the chicken cross the road? " At least some semblance of rationality remains.

Not food ... for us OR for bovines. 3. Grain is also not food ... for us or for bovines. Roughly 1/2 of all the sodium bicarbonate sold in the U.S. is fed to cows, who experience awful indigestion when they are fed grains. Thanks for the clarification, Elchanan. I'm still a little confused as to why some recommend it as part of a raw food diet, but then there's a few things recommended that aren't exactly raw or food. Re it being fed to the cattle, there was no grass, and the molasses and grain was to supplement the hay. When it rained, they just grazed. I know they feed grains at dairies here, and yes, they have salt licks - my stepdad's uncle had a dairy farm that we used to go to, and we'd actually mix the salt in with the grains for them to eat while they were milked. They had access to that for the length of time they were on the machine, the rest of the time they grazed. I know it's probably different on different farms.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 I like regular molasses, just not the blackstrap molasses. It is good that you like blackstrap molasses, because, if memory serves me, it is a good source of iron, and it seems like some other nutrients too.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Oh, LOL, guess I missed it or got side tracked or something.
